FURTHER RECORDS FROM ICELAND. 81
dnced, but still very dubiously a native. Eev. Dr. Walker, 1889 !
Found in Finland at Euraaminne, about 61° N. lat. ; in Sweden
in East Gothland ; and Sodemanland.
Mijosotis arcensis Roth. Eskifjordr. Rev. Dr. Walker, 89 !
*Ana(/allis arvensis L. Eeykiavk (Davidsson). Babington notes,
" Solauder saw it in Paulsen's herb."
^ Utricid'o ia minor L. Minui Laxa, S. Iceland (Fridriksson).
*Pinfjuicula viilf/aris L., var. grandijiura Lam. Seydisfjortlir
(Feddersson), E. Iceland.
Rhododendron lapponicum Wg. "Kalmanstunga, Baring-Gould."
Rostrup records a specimen in the Copenhagen Herbarium, " ex
Islaudia dedit Robert, 1837, Aug."
^Poliigonum Convolvulus Ij. Blonduos, N. Iceland (Fridriksson).'
Affiildsdynger (Federssen), " with Melilotus, Mcdva borealis, &c."
Glieraann included this, and it is recorded from Lapland and
Norway to 70° N. lat. ; in Finland to 69° in cultivated laud ; but is
doubtless an introduction to Iceland. — P. Persicaria Lt. Neykri
in Mosfellssveit (Thoroddsen). -'P. aviculare L., var. littorale Link.
North coast, July 1889. Rev. Dr. Walker
'^'Plantago Curonopus L. "I found this plant in Iceland in 1861,
but although I noted its occurrence, neglected to take specimens,
supposing it to be frequent" (I. Carroll in Journ. Bot. 1870,
p. 356). I found a solitary example among Dr. Walker's plants
gathered in 1889. Konig and others recorded it.
Oxyria diggna Camp. Eskifjordr (Rev. Dr. Walker, 1889).
Orchis latifolia L., var. Near the Geysers, 1889 (Rev. Dr.
Walker!). Mr. N, E. Brown kindly determined these specimens,
which were poor, hence uncertain. I doubt their belonging to
latijulia. Hafnarfjordr (Froeken Thora Fridriksson). Rostrup as
0. mojalifi Reich.
Platanthera hyperborea Lindley ! Near the Geyser (Rev. Dr.
Walker, 1889 !). ]\lany specimens of this species (the var. minor
of Lange). Very different in aspect from the Greenland plant (ex
Lange !), but I compared them with Lindley's types at Kew.
'Potam-geton pectinatiis L. Vestmannsvatn, Blanda and Vididalsmdri,
N. Iceland. Hvammsfjordr, Langa, Hvit. It was recorded
by Morck (Langafjord) and Baring-Gould (Vithimyri). Morck
evidently places this apart from jili/ormis, as he gives a name to
that plant, so his locality is probably correct. — P. filiformis Nolte.
In Herb. Mus. Brit, is an Icelandic specimen gathered by Morck,
under the name of P. capillaceum, 1821. A specimen of P. ru/escens
Schrad., from Helgji, Rostrup refers to " var. saJirifolia (Wolf)
=(/-'. lanvcolatus Sm.)." This will mean the scdicifolius of Reichenbach's
' Icones,' and not the plant of Smith. All the Icelandic
plants named '^ lanceohitus Sm." I have seen are forms of rn/ayccns.
— P. polygonifolius Pourr. Recorded by Feddersen (Medd. Bot.
Foren. s. 159), seems according to Rostrup I.e., to have been a
form of P. natans.
Luzula mnltijhira Lej.— *Var. amgesta Fr., and var. pullesceiin
Hoppe. Hrappscy, E. Iceland (Davidsson). — *Var. nigricans
(Desv.). Sandy by Thingvallavtu (Fodderscn).
